Excerpted from "Adobe Photoshop CS Creative Studio" by Luanne Seymour Cohen.

Adobe® Photoshop® offers many, many ways to blend images together. Here are three different ways using layer masks, layer styles, and layer groups. Each one creates a different effect. The easiest to learn and use is layer-mask blending: Create a gradient layer mask to blend smoothly from one layer to another. If you’re more adventurous, play with layer-style blending. The results will depend on the images you start with and their highlight and shadow values. And if you want to mask several layers at once without having to flatten them, use the layer-group blending technique.

Layer-mask blending

  1. Open or create an image file.

    Open an image file

  2. Open another file and select the move tool. Position the image windows so that you can see both of them on-screen at once. Use the move tool to drag and drop the image of one file onto the other, pressing Shift before you release the mouse button to center the layer on top of the other layer.

    Open a second file

  3. With the new layer still selected, click the Add Layer Mask button in the Layers palette. Notice that the foreground and background colors switch to white and black.

    Add a layer mask to the new layer

  4. Select one of the gradient tools. In the tool options bar, click the arrow button to the right of the gradient swatch to display the Gradient pop-up palette, and choose the Foreground to Background gradient. Draw a gradient on the layer mask. The white areas of the gradient will reveal the top layer, and the black areas will reveal the layer underneath.

    Try different gradients and angles for different effects.
